Mull Historical Society

Mull Historical Society is the pseudonym for Colin MacIntyre, a Scottish singer, song-writer, multi-instrumentalist, producer and (as yet) unpublished author. His previous albums were released under the band name 'Mull Historical Society', even though the band consists of Colin alone. Colin MacIntyre now releases under his own name. And in 2008 released 'The Water' and in 2009 'Island'. Mull is an island off the west coast of Scotland — the name comes from an actual genealogical society on the island, who have since changed their name to the Mull Historical and Archaeological Society.

Shelagh Mcdonald

Originally from Scotland, Shelagh McDonald moved to London in the late 1960s, where she was part of the folk-music scene. In 1970 she released her first album, Shelagh McDonald Album, which sold rather poorly. 1971's Stargazer sold better, and was critically acclaimed. However, some time after its release, McDonald disappeared and wasn't heard from again until quite recently. Shelagh McDonald's music is close to that of some of her contemporaries, for example, Sandy Denny, Nick Drake, and Duncan Browne.
